Unfortunately, myself and 'Mrs Beazer' ate something in a bistro on Friday night which backfired on us spectacularly. We spent the next two days in bed. Being so ill and dehydrated, there was no way that I could have ran 10 yards, let alone 26.2 miles, so I had to watch the whole event on Eurosport.

I was absolutely gutted not to have been able to run, especially seeing people with their finisher t-shirts and medals later on.
